I would like to say that Jenna & all the staff at Heywood & Co are the best I have ever used to sell any of my properties. Immediate follow up after my initial call. Both Jenna & Barbara were fully conversant with my property on arrival with a sound price guide. I was impressed with their efficiency and it was an absolute pleasure to deal with such wonderfully friendly people. This agency goes the extra mile & I highly recommend them to anyone considering selling.

by Rhian S

Barbara was amazing when we purchased our first investment property. Straight down the line, honest and great communication. After many below average experiences with other real estate agents in the area, it's nice to know there are still genuine agents out there.
Highly recommended!

by Caity H

It's not every day that one looks for a home to buy, that in itself can be quite a daunting prospect. However, I was so fortunate to meet and buy a house through you during that process. With you nothing is too much trouble, that genuine personal touch meant a lot to me, so thank you. You spent time keeping in contact with me when I went back to Sydney and liasing on my behalf with the vendor and was instrumental in helping me set up a licencing agreement before settlement. I would just like to say that your open friendly persona stands you in good stead for your chosen profession, you are an asset to any real estate office you choose to work for. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone in need of a professional caring real estate sales person to act on their behalf. Thankyou for being you Barb,

by Andrew and Leeh

Heywood & Co sold our house in Yarragon very quickly and achieved our asking price. Their staff communicated effectively, managing the paperwork in a reliable, efficient and timely fashion so that the whole process went smoothly for us. On another level, we appreciated Barbara for her marketing skills, business acumen and her personal warmth. Always ready to help with practical advice, Barbara inspired our confidence with her straightforward approach and cheerful good sense. We feel we made the right choice in asking Barbara and her staff to sell our house and will be happy to bring any future business back to Heywood & Co.

As first time landlords we couldn’t have wished for a better Property Manager, you have made the process so easy and found great tenants for our first investment property. We already have a 2nd investment property under construction and have no hesitation in you managing this one for us too!
